“I canāt thank you all enough for the love you have given us. It honestly means the world to me to see how much support we have received. The positive messages, the videos of our journey, the fan pages, I honestly feel so blessed and overwhelmed with positive emotions I canāt express it.
“Love Island has been a beautiful experience for me and Iām so proud of say Iāve left with someone I love, admire, look up to, connect with on a deeper level and absolutely value and appreciate everything he stands for. Iām so excited to continue our journey on the outside and canāt wait for us to become so much moreš¤.”

The post was also a massive tribute to Sanam, who he called “humble, intelligent, caring, loving and so much more” and said he’s “honestly fallen head over heels for her.” He concluded the post with: “I LOVE YOU TOO SANAMā¤ļø”.
I am WEEPING.

Shaq has also shared a post summing up how he’s feeling since the final. “I canāt even begin to explain how thankful I am for the support, kind words and messages Iāve received,” he said. “This has definitely been one of the best experiences of my life. Never in a million years did I think any of this would happen let alone reach the final!
“But Iām truly grateful for everything. As one chapter closes another one opens and I canāt wait to start this new chapter with my beautiful girlfriend @talkswithtt_ ā¤ļø So from the bottom of my heart I just want to say thank you!”

Canāt thank everyone enough for their support throughout it all! Been the best experience of my life and Iām walking out with this absolute worldie,” he said.
“Love Island is hands down the best thing Iāve ever done. Iāve learnt so much about myself and coming out a better man. I was unsure if Iād meet someone going into the villa but to fall in love is the best feeling in the world and to have that with Samie is unreal, sheās so genuine, stunning and down to earth and I canāt wait to see what the future holds for usā¤ļø
“To everyone thatās supported us through this crazy journey I just wanted to say thank you! All the nice comments and posts donāt go a miss at all and they mean a lot!”
On his story he’s been sharing loads of himself settling in back home. He’s been having pizza on the sofa with Samie, and took her to Macclesfield FC, the football club he plays for and is expected to be back on the pitch with this weekend. Cute!

On their Instagram stories, they’ve shared them cuddling up and watching movies, and out for lunch together in Essex, where Ron is from.
Will
They were just robbed from making it to the final, but Will and Jessie’s content since the villa has been too cute not to include. Of course, as soon as they got back to the UK, Will had Jessie working on his farm.
They shared a cute picture of then together, with a lamb, captioned: “To the villa, to London, to the FARM. What a crazy, wonderful and life lasting journey this has been. We made friends for life, met each other and more importantly have fallen in love ā¤ļø We are so happy that we got this opportunity as without it we may have never met š«¶š¼ We just want to thank all of you for the love and support we have gotten, we really couldnāt have done it without you. Love you all Will & Jessie š„°ā¤ļø.”
Jessie
As well as the cute joint post she did with Will, Jessie has also shared a post captioned: “Coming home from Love Island vs the day I left to go on Love Island.” She and Will are in the back of a car and Jessie holding up her passport, and in the first pic it’s Jessie alone holding up her passport.
They’ve made a few Instagram posts already, since leaving Love Island 2023, and they’ve all been them together living their best lives. Too cute!
